Krivo Nuevo Black Single Coil Gypsy Jazz Guitar Pickup

The Nuevo single-coil pickup is the Krivo pickup which is closest in sound to the traditional Stimer pickup popularized
by Django Reinhardt during his late electric period. However, I have
optimized magnet position and strength to eliminate the dreaded “hot-b
string” problems evinced by the original Stimer-typepickups.
On the classic Nuevo, an inlaid pearl dot allows for perfect placement
to achieve proper alignment and string-to-string balance. Furthermore,
the Nuevo is extra thin(approximately 6mm thick!) and thus easily fits modern guitars with low action for which a Stimer-type pickup is untenable.

Hand wound with vintage Formvar wire (not the cheap polynylon used by many modern makers).
